What critical insights are shared about Jalen Hurts and the Eagles?

Dan Le Batard 0:02
There's a new ESPN story making the rounds and this is interesting because it is a story critical of Jalen Hurts. And a tweet from Jeremy Fowler reports that Jalen Hurts stands at a crossroads despite his immense success. Sources say he has a hand in the Eagles offense becoming calcified and frustrations have grown. I assume that everything the Eagles were saying recently about A.J. Brown, that A.J. Brown remains an Eagle, is just because of the calendar year in the NFL and the benefits of getting rid of A.J. Brown after June 1st. But this suggests, at least in part, that they may side with the idea that A.J. Brown's not the problem. that Jalen Hurts is more of the problem.

What humorous incident involving the video team is discussed?

Dan Le Batard 0:51
Unfortunately, I can't get to this story in real time as the news breaks because an hour after it was funny, the video team now has found Mike Ryan doing the pantomime of trying to take a gummy rectally And they have now finally found the technology to reverse the video. And now indeed we do have video that makes it look like Mike Ryan is wiping his butt and then smelling it. So thank you to the video team for a full 90 minutes, a full 90 minutes after this was funny, the video team finally did betray Mike. Mike, uh, how do you feel about what's happened here? Uh, It is embarrassing for you to be portrayed this way. The internet is forever.
Mike Ryan 1:40
Yep. You're just going to get a worse me from here on out. I don't know why I try to help. You're the one that said the stupid thing. You did say the stupid thing.
Dan Le Batard 1:51
I was just being an entertainer.
Mike Ryan 1:52
Yeah, that was stupid what you said. Unentertaining.
Dan Le Batard 1:57
Roy, you got in there very aggressively. First words all day. You thought the best thing to say to me to punctuate today's happenings, you thought was to look at me right in the face and just say, yeah, that was stupid.
Mike Ryan 2:15
Yeah. But I'm the punchline.
Dan Le Batard 2:18
It's all right. Smell it in your hand.
Mike Ryan 2:20
I'm eating poop.
Dan Le Batard 2:24
I mean, I've been trying for the last hour to get to you on Mark Cuban saying now, because you don't get in basketball the story of GM's incompetent. What a fool. Trade gets made. Everyone's shocked. Luke is now the MVP. He's in his prime. He's doing all the things for the Lakers he should have been doing for the Mavericks. And what you traded for without checking around the league was Anthony Davis. who didn't play for you so much that he has fewer points as a Maverick than Luka has this month as a Laker, generally things don't play out that neatly. So Mark Cuban, who none of us would dispute, cared deeply about the Mavs franchise, sold it for the biggest bag of money to a group of people he now regrets selling it to because it makes him look best to distance himself from everything that happened there when he caused it.
Stugotz 3:12
I love how he does this thing. It's almost like he's doing his own version of Pobletory Finds Out where he just leaves this little brick crumbs, right? So the last thing he said was, I don't regret selling. I regret who I sold to. I made a lot of mistakes in the process, and I'll leave it at that. I'm like, no, you can't just leave it at that.
Mike Ryan 3:30
This is a little awkward because he's still got a substantial stake in the Mavericks. 27%, correct? Yeah. He's just trying to distance himself from that trade. How can you distance your partners with them? These are your business partners.
Stugotz 3:45
My favorite part is Jason Kidd was asked about it. When can we move on? Poor Jason Kidd. He's just like, I don't want to talk about this anymore. He's like, I respect Mark. He's done a lot for my family. But, like, I don't want to talk about this anymore. I just want to move on.
Dan Le Batard 3:58
Well, when can we move on? I mean, when it happened, you said this is a crater trade. There are only a handful of these in the history of professional basketball where it's something your franchise never gets up from because you've betrayed – You've betrayed a misunderstanding of what the customer's emotional relationship is with a superstar in his prime. When can we get over this? When Luka's not scoring 600 points in a month for another team.
Unknown 4:24
Yeah, but Cooper Flagg looks great, right?
